5… 4… 3… 2… 1…“5 o’clock at last!” Johnny whispered to himself while staring at his wrist watch at work. He’s been waiting for it for an hour already. He wanted to get home as early as possible to drink some beer and relax for the rest of the night. He immediately started cleaning up his desk, making sure that every file he works on is kept and secured in his cabinet. Continue reading “The Easy Way…or not”
